There's no easy answer

None to blame or forgive

Two cripples dancing

To the end we live



I'm not with you not of you

Not with you, not of you

You are soft and young to me

I am the ghost who comes and goes

And I hope I'll catch you

In the throws of one last look at the wonder

One last look at the wonder



O, God, I love you

And all the past we once knew

Some other love becomes you

Whatever else we come to

I know we could be so happy, baby

If we wanted to be



You are soft and young to me

I am the ghost who comes and goes

I'm hoping that I'll catch you in the throws

Of one last look at joy that we've become



But there's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive

We were two cripples dancing

To the bitter end we live

I'm not with you, but of you

I'm not with you but of you



O, God, I loved you

And all the past we once knew

Some other love becomes you

Whatever else it comes to

I know we could be so happy, baby

If we wanted to be



We had a birthplace in common

We had separate beds and lives



I'll just sit here and glow

Break out the oldest pictures

Hand your ruined letters out to dry

We had a birthplace in common

And separate beds and lives

And lives, and lives

I know that we could be so happy, baby

If we wanted to be

I know that we could be so happy, baby

Yeah oh.
